Eye scans brought in at airport
« on: May 17, 2007, 04:21:08 PM »
Eye-scanning technology has been brought in at Gatwick Airport's south terminal.

The iris-recognition system is already in use at Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester airports to speed up entry into the UK for frequent flyers.

Signed-up passengers look into a camera at an automated barrier which recognises data stored on a database, together with their passport details.

Immigration minister Liam Byrne has launched the scheme at Gatwick.
